Israel accused of War Crime in Gaza

So, just imagine it. You're a Palestinian family, in your home, such as it is, probably without electricity and running water. You're absolutely terrified of it being destroyed by the Israelis in one of their vicious air assaults.

Then an Israeli soldier comes to call - tells you to get out for your own safety and leads you to another building.

With a sinking feeling you know that you'll lose everything that you own as your house will be destroyed, but at least you'll all be safe.

Then, within a day, Israeli shells start pummelling the so called place of safety.
